Google 9 years after IPO: Buy, sell or hold?

Nine years after its initial public offering and a 900 percent gain over that period, Google still has bright days ahead, Stuart Frankel's Steve Grasso said Monday.

"I'm still a believer in Google. I still love it," he said. "It's probably my all-time favorite trade."

On CNBC's "Fast Money," Grasso also said that while he remained long, he had taken profits and sold two-thirds of his position in Google, looking to buy it back on a dip.

Apple, Grasso said, was a different story.

"The only problem with Apple is that it's become a buyback story," he added.

That suited James Lebenthal of Lebenthal Asset Management just fine.

"I think Apple is where Google was two years ago before the 30 percent run-up," he said. "Google may still have another 15 percent.

"Hey, Google may still have another 15 percent. I don't know. But I'm more certain that Apple has 15 percent."

Josh Brown of Fusion Analytics said that he thought the market was going to take Google stock higher.

"I don't love any stock," he said. "The market is voting as we speak."

Brown noted that Google has been growing at about 18 percent a year and called its stock price "perfectly reasonable.

"I can't imagine this stock not getting to $1,000, barring any kind of market cataclysm," he added.
